Never Been This Unhappy
In august of 2018, I decided after so long of being self conscious about my body in so many ways, I wanted to get some procedures done to feel better about myself. I had consultations with 3 separate surgeons, all with different quotes, consults, and info. I ended up deciding on Dr Parkins which was the most expensive of all 3 doctors but I felt I would get the best results.
I was getting breast implants, augmentation with lift, areola being made smaller, and then Lipo with Brazilian buttlift. I had surgery November 1st of 2018 ,and honestly it's been a nightmare ever since. I was very clear about the outcome I wanted. I did not get that,in fact I didn't get even what was paid for and when I had post opp appointment I was told my results were because of me and my body. I have since seen two other surgeons who I actually had a consult with but decided not to go through them ,I now have both of them that did a full inspection of exam on me and had seen me prior to my surgery and they both feel the same way that I do about all of my issues and results which are ::
Areolas are even larger than prior to surgery, breasts are very saggy and droopy ,which could not have been a breast lift done (which we paid for all these things to be done) . My breasts literally look like they were cut open with a large hook scar on each of them which I never was told about prior and that all that was done was an implant put in each breast. I forgot to add that my left breast has always been larger than my right, noticeably, so another thing paid for to be done, was evening out so they both were closer to same size before putting implant in,still my left breast is noticeably larger, and I chose a 450 cc high profile implant and my breasts are not even much larger ,I still wear the same exact bra sizes I did prior to surgery. I still have to wear a push up bra.I wanted my breasts to look larger and perkier and pretty and they look worse than my original breasts did and I feel so uncomfortable, I've been with my husband for 15 years and I now can't even be undressed in front of him .Its summer and I can't even bring myself to wear a bathing suit. I also had Lipo and was to be Brazilian buttlift, I wanted this because I've tried working out and just couldn't slim down my stomach and back and had absolutely no shape to me ,well guess what ,still no shape to me whatsoever since the surgery. My butt is the same size, I look exactly how I did prior to surgery ,I don't look any different,it's so embarrassing.
It was brought to Dr Parkins attention, at first she said she agreed to do a revision on both with no charges on her end, but that I would have to pay hospital fees ,well within a month of meeting with her and getting a quote from the hospital the revision would be done I was ready to see it up because it's affected everything in my life and I am so unhappy, all of a sudden she was opening her own surgery center and no longer at the place she was when I got the first surgery, so was closer to when I would get it done ,but changes were being made as since she had her own surgery center she would be operating there instead ,yet they still said I had to pay all the hospital fees that I was quoted from the hospital even though she wasn't doing it there anymore.it made no sense, this is her own building and surgery center, she knew she did not do a good job on me or she would not of offered to operate again so soon, she said no charging me, but it just kept changing ,Allie that works there kept telling me different things, adding on different amounts,saying one thing one day and another the next, thankfully I was smart enough to record on my phone any phone conversations I ever had with anyone there and everytime I was there in person including before I even had the surgery. So the recordings , the written reports from the board certified surgeons whom completely agree with me and photos have been being reviewed by our Attorney along with we are going to be beginning a case that we will now be filing through the courts. Not only can I not look at myself undressed or allow my husband to see me but in total we spent over $22,000 on the surgery to have this type or outcome and they were trying to get me to pay another $5,000 to do revision plus some and that's when I backed out and decided it would be best to get the law involved.
I dont want another woman to end up as sad and unhappy and depressed as I am and I wanted to give my full HONEST story and be able to tell anyone considering going through this doctor to maybe check other options unless you are okay with this being an outcome for you also. I do have many before and after photos I will be posting soon and very clearly shows exactly what ive said and the horrible results I have now. I truly for once in my life wanted to feel confident and attractive and have some shape and feel pretty. I feel disgusting and all I do is cry about it and I hate how I feel . I hope that one day I will be able to get a revision on both and get the outcome I really wanted.
